Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus has two enhancer-containing immediate-early (IE) promoters with a cis repression sequence (CRS) positioned immediately upstream of the transcription start site, designated the major IE (MIE) promoter and the US3 promoter. The role of the CRS upstream of the US3 transcription...
